Help[Opinions] Re: New names in the US Top 1000
in reply to a message by Uilos
I dislike most of these.
Birdie - makes me think of "bird" which is slang for an attractive girl. To me it is like calling a child Chicky. It's really immature and hard to grow up with.
Jaylani - "jail".
Angelique - this is fine.
Arleth - sounds like someone trying to say Scarlett with a mouth full of food.
Emberlynn - odd.
Billie - I hate these greasy old-guy nickname names for girls such as Billie or Stevie. So bad.
Goldie - too nickname-ish.
Guinevere - this is nice!
Indigo - indigo child. Sort of crazy.
Vida - living la vida loca.
Soraya - okay.
Salma - prefer Selma.
Clover - cute cow.
The only ones I really like are India and Guinevere.
Loyalty is so bad.
I'd rather have Susan and even Karen over Loyalty and Jaylani any day.
Ozzy - god, why, this is so bad. Makes me think of Ozzy Ozborne (I hope I spelled this correctly) who is terrible. What a burden.
Ocean - this is sort of nice.
Bowie - had (allegedly) sex with underaged girls, sounds like bowel movements. No thanks.
Cassian and Elio are nice.

I agree with your opinions about Birdie and Billie. Well said. I know Birdie "has history" but that doesn't make it better imo.
Also agree about Angelique and Guinevere.
Not to argue with you but just my reaction to your comments ... I would describe Indigo as flakey. Crazy would be like Plum or Apple imo. Indigo is less stuckup than Blue. It's more a pop granola style, these days - more like Meadow.
I think Loyalty is not so bad. I like it more than Royalty, which is much more popular (although I don't mind it - personally I don't feel like it is referring to a divine right to rule, it's more a value-name trying to evoke intrinsic dignity). Better Loyalty than saccharine Serenity, or vapid "Everly," imho.
